BJP Removes Shaheen Bagh Shooter Kapil Gurjar Hours After Induction

The Bharatiya Janata Party has expelled the Shaheen Bagh shooter, Kapil Gurjar, hours after he joined the party on December 30. The BJP’s Ghaziabad unit chief Sanjeev Sharma said that Kapil was one among those BSP defectors who joined the party. Sanjeev also denied of having knowledge about Kapil’s earlier activities.
